Kenyan police says man with machete attacked deputy president's home

Armed attackers raided Deputy President William Ruto's home in Sugoi on 29 July.

The media and public have been barred to about 500metres from the home and Rift Valley Regional Coordinator and Uasin Gishu County Commander are on scene.

Intermittent gunfire could still be heard at the home where more than eight Recce squad officers were leading the security operation.

TUKO.co.ke can now confirm that heavy exchange of fire is being experienced at the home as the police force their way into the house where the gangsters are hiding.

The number of attackers, who are said to be armed, was reported as two but their mission remains unclear.

The intruder was later forced to hide at a building under construction after reinforcement was called, added the IG.

Heavy rain may cause flooding through Friday
Heavy thunderstorms produced between one and three inches of rain inside the warned area within just a few hours Friday morning. Thursday through the weekend we'll see a very similar pattern: warm humid days with afternoon and evening rain chances.
